Faculty Member Lana Lin’s “The Cancer Journals Revisited” premieres at BAMCinemaFest

Posted on June 23, 2019

“In this poetic, experimental rumination on Audre Lorde’s work, a chorus of current and former breast cancer patients read aloud and react to the poet’s words. Their responses and the stories they share are candid, cathartic messages about what it means to be a woman dealing with illness in American society. Honoring the writer’s intersectional spirit by exploring the unique ways cancer affects women of color, The Cancer Journals Revisited is a powerful work of healing that continues the conversation Lorde started.” BAMCinemaFest 2019
